HELPING CIVILIANS
ARMY MEDICAL MEN LONDON. March 4 Britain's three fighting Forces are pooling their doctors, pooling hospital beds, lending their doctors to overworked civilian hospitals, and even admitting civilian patients to their own wards. This is part of the new manpower economy scheme to ease the call-up's drain on home-front doctors, and to distribute work equally among all doctors. Already the home front is seriously short of doctors. Thousands more will be needed for the Forces, but the pool, still in its early stages, will do much to relieve the overworked civilian dootor. By the interchange of Service medical men anomalies will be ended.
